On this day, Zhang Xiao received a special call.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Robin, the head coach of the football team."

Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this and said: "Hello, Coach Luo, what can I do for you?"

Robin said: "Mr. Zhang, we just came back from Carl. I heard that you planted the Tottenham team. I just wanted to see if I could ask for your help to let our two teams play a friendly match?"

"Of course it's no problem." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "However, Tottenham now has three support players entering their national team for training, so they shouldn't be able to come."

As the largest shareholder of Tottenham, it is just a matter of words to allow them to come to China to participate in the game. However, the three best players in the team are training with Karl, so they will definitely not be able to participate.

Robin said: "It doesn't matter. By the way, how much do we need to pay for the appearance fee?"

Zhang Xiao asked: "How much money do you usually spend?"

Robin said truthfully: "About two million euros."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Then I'll give you one million euros."

In any case, Zhang Xiao is the owner of the Tottenham team. If he doesn't pay a penny, it must be inappropriate, because then he will not be able to explain to the team.

But after all, this is the first invitation from the Chinese national team. Zhang Xiao felt that asking for too much money would definitely be inappropriate, so a 50% discount would be appropriate.

When Robin heard this, he said happily: "That's great. I'll contact the Sports Department right away."

Soon, the Chinese Football Association sent an invitation letter to the Tottenham team for a friendly match. The Tottenham team followed Zhang Xiao's wishes and immediately accepted the invitation.

The two sides decided to hold a friendly match at the Beijing Football Stadium a week later.

The news has been sent out, and the fans cheered.

"Xiao Shen is awesome!"

"I want to buy tickets to watch the game."

"After Xiao Shen bought Tottenham, I knew that this day would definitely come."

"I hope Tottenham won't be like those teams in the past."

"Xiao Shen told the Tottenham players that they must show their true skills, otherwise this game will be meaningless."

"Don't worry about the football team's face at all, just play hard."

“···”

In addition to netizens, filmmakers in the entertainment industry also called Zhang Xiao one after another, with only one purpose, and that was to ask for tickets.

Zhang Xiao left 500 tickets in advance, which was barely enough.

A few days later, football tickets went on sale online.

In less than three minutes, the 65,000 tickets were sold out instantly, leaving Zhang Xiao very confused.

It seems that these fans are even crazier than fans and movie fans.

The Tottenham team arrived in Beijing two days in advance. Zhang Xiao invited them to have a meal at a five-star hotel. Everyone was full of praise and admiration.

The next day Tottenham went to the Beijing Football Stadium to familiarize themselves with the venue and prepare for the next game.

"Hey, Coach Luo, there is only one month left before the World Cup. Do you need to ask Tottenham to release anyone? To increase the confidence of the players?" Zhang Xiao called Robin and asked.

"Absolutely not!" Robin said quickly: "Mr. Zhang, Tottenham is an incomplete team. If even such a team has to let go in order for the national team to win, then I, as the head coach, will

It’s time to leave after class.”

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "It seems that Coach Luo is very confident. OK, I will let them try their best to compete with the national team. I hope you can achieve good results."

Robin said: "We will definitely do it."

The next night, the Beijing football stadium ushered in a friendly match between the Chinese national football team and the powerful Tottenham team.

On the viewing platform on the left, more than a hundred celebrities and their relatives and friends were sitting, including Zhang Xiao's family.

Wu Jin sat next to him and asked: "Brother, you didn't tell Tottenham to give up, did you?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily when he heard this, and said: "Absolutely not. Not only did I not ask them to let go, but I also told them that they would get a bonus of 100,000 yuan for scoring a goal and 50,000 yuan for each assist. If the team can win a net victory

Three balls, each person gets a bonus of 100,000."

When Li Liangjie heard this, he exclaimed: "You are going to make them fight to the death!"

"That's necessary!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "If we don't let Tottenham work hard, how can we see the true level of our own football team?"

"I'll tell you secretly, I tested Coach Luo before and asked him if he wanted to let Tottenham play, but Coach Luo didn't agree."

Li Liangjie asked curiously: "If he agrees, what will you do?"

Zhang Xiao said without hesitation: "Double all the bonuses for Tottenham and let Tottenham teach them a lesson."

Li Liangjie nodded and said: "The depth of love and the depth of hatred. If I were you, I would make the same decision as you."

At eight o'clock sharp, the football game officially started.

The national football team and Tottenham obviously did not think about playing a defensive battle. Both teams had a tacit understanding of the 4-3-3 formation.

This is the most typical offensive formation.

As soon as it started, the two teams started to attack each other, and they fought very fiercely.

Tottenham are willing to work so hard just for the bonus, while the national team is for the honor.

In the first twenty minutes, both sides had opportunities to score, but neither took them until the twenty-fifth minute.

Wang Mi received Feng Luofeng's wonderful pass, used his superb dribbling to pass two Tottenham defenders, broke into the penalty area, and formed a one-on-one situation with the Tottenham goalkeeper.

Seeing the goalkeeper rushing out, Wang Mi was not nervous at all. He swung his left foot in front of the football, pushed the football to the right with his right foot, and then followed the spirit of loyalty and charged towards the right.

Wang Mi's action directly caused Tottenham's goalkeeper to lose his center, and he could only watch helplessly as the opponent passed by him.

"Oh yeah!"

"Goal scored."

"Wang Mi is awesome!"

The fans throughout the stadium went crazy.

No one expected that facing a strong enemy like Tottenham, the national team, which has always performed poorly, would actually score the first goal in an attack-for-attack situation. This simply gave the fans a big surprise.

of surprise.

Zhang Xiao looked at the excited Wu Jin next to him and asked: "Is he just talking about the young football genius Wang Mi you mentioned?"

"Yes!" Wu Jin nodded and said: "Zhang Xiao, when the World Cup is over, you can recruit him to Tottenham."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "This kid's skills are indeed quite good. He can beat three people in a row. I will take him there if I have the chance."

I don't know if he was irritated by the national team, or he felt that Zhang Xiao's bonus was about to leave him. Tottenham were very annoyed at the loss of the first goal, and launched a frenzied attack towards the national team's gate.

Three minutes.

Just three minutes later, the national team's goal was broken by Tottenham forward Barr, and the score became 1:1.

This was not over yet. With less than three minutes left before the end of the first half, Hot Ci took a free kick and scored again, making the score 2:1.

The national team was immediately stunned, and so were the fans.

Soon, the first half was over, and the two teams of pigeons rested for fifteen minutes.

Li Liangjie said with a disappointed look on his face: "Why did we lose after such a good start?"

Wu Jindao: "Tottenham's offense was too sharp, and it completely confused our team. The key is that this is only the level of their second team, and the three main players haven't come over yet."

Li Liangjie sighed and said: "It seems that there is no hope for this year's World Cup."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "If I were a goalkeeper, maybe I could win the Hercules Cup."

Wu Jin thought of Zhang Xiao's ability shown in "Romantic Travel" and said: "It is really possible. By the way, brother, have you asked if you can sign up?"

"No question." Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "Let's wait until after the game is over."

In the changing room, Robin gave the players a severe scolding.

Talented center Luo Feng took a sip of water and said: "Coach, Tottenham played too fiercely, and we are worried about injuries."

Robin reprimanded: "Worried about injuries? If so, then don't play in the World Cup. Let me tell you, before the start of the game, Mr. Zhang once asked me if I wanted to let Tottenham play. My answer was a resolute no.

"

"This time it was Mr. Zhang who used money to stimulate the Hot Words team, so they played so hard. Otherwise, who would be willing to play with us like this?"

"We have been training for half a year. If we can't even beat Tottenham's second team and encounter a team with a stronger attack than them, then it will be a waste!"

When the players heard what the coach said, they all fell silent.

No wonder people are willing to play with all their strength, it turns out that Xiao Shen paid for it!

Defender Bao Shuiyuan said fiercely: "Don't even say anything, let's fight!"

Everyone said in unison: "Fight!"

Seeing this, Robin nodded secretly and began to plan his tactics.

After fifteen minutes, the second half of the game began.
